Cohere, LLC: The Members are the people, coworkers, groups and community. The
Space is the building located at 418 South Howes.
The members of Cohere share a fundamental desire to live and work flexibly, be social,
help one another and welcome everyone into the community.
Our Values
Cohere is quite different from your average working environment. We're not a serviced
or fully staffed office, and the following things help us keep our prices accessible. In
order to keep things ticking nicely, here are some essentials we ask everyone to be
mindful of when using the space.
● Participation is an extreme sport. You break or lose it, you replace it.
● Bring problems with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, flooding, broken keypads,
natural disasters, etc. to the attention of a staff member (Angel or another
Community Cultivator).
● Never give out Cohere key codes to anyone.
● Learn how to reset the Comcast router and use this as a first defense against an
internet outage.
● Pay your membership dues within 5 days of receiving your monthly invoice.
Cohere will not chase you down. Put it in your calendar.
● Engage in meaningful greetings. Pop in and out of all areas and offices to
connect with one another.
● Equipment and professional liability is your own responsibility (our insurance
can’t cover it). Ask your insurance provider for “renter’s insurance.”
● Cleaning up after yourself, washing your dishes and tidying up is everyone’s
responsibility. We work together to maintain a space we feel proud of.
● Leave the spaces as you found them, or in better shape. (This includes cleaning
up after your guests.)
● Cohere is dog-friendly for polite and well-behaved pups only. See the Canine
Membership addendum below.
● Anyone who behaves in a manner that is destructive to the Space or the
Members may be asked to leave. If anyone in our Space makes you feel
uncomfortable, bring it to Angel’s attention right away.
● Be responsible and respectful with your internet usage. No bit-torrent, porn or
illegal activities. Respect other people’s privacy, confidentiality, safety, property
and data. If the law comes looking for you, we will give you up immediately.
● The last member out of each space is responsible for closing windows,
shutting off lights and firmly closing all keypad-equipped doors.
● The only protected car parking in Old Town are the seven spaces east of the
building, marked “RESERVED.” A bike rack is located east of the building near
the trash cans. Emergency bike parking (forgot your lock, rack is full) is on the
raised outdoor patio only.
● If you can’t use all of your allotted coworking days in a week, those days
can be used within your invoice month but do not carry over to the next
month.
● Cohere members will usually sign for other members’ packages, but it isn’t
guaranteed. Plan accordingly.
All Cohere memberships include access to the community and its resources, with only a
couple of specific exceptions.
As a canine member of Cohere, you and your owner agree to the following:
If any dog growls at, nips, bites or lunges at any other dog or human member they will
be asked to stay at home.
If any member has severe allergies to dogs, canine memberships will be suspended.
